Hi there,

I took over a laid off PC with an XP Pro licence sticker on it. I
cannot access the harddisk, but it's there, the orginial one. A guy at
Dell told me I have to get a hold of an OEM cd for XP Pro in the
original language (Norwegian), and he even said it was enough to get
a /copy/ of it, since I have the license no. . If this is true, I
wonder where I could get a hold of such a copy!

Any thoughts?

Yeah... it's really cold outside this morning.

Contact Dell support and request a Dell Windows XP Reinstallation CD.

I know, but I haven't found any in Norwegian, as the Dell guy said it
had to be in the original language.

Thanks anyway!

For some reason the Dell technician here said they couldn't provide
it! (Maybe because it's about 4 years old?)

Thanks anyway.
